Green Technology and Industry 4.0 for Sustainable Future

The text provides readers with an understanding of how green technology solutions can be applied to support sustainable manufacturing practices in the context of Industry 4.0. It illustrates practical guidance and case studies that demonstrate the potential benefits of this approach, as well as insights into cutting-edge research, and best practices.

This book:

• Discusses topics such as zero-emission, carbon-neutral materials, wastewater management, additive and lean manufacturing, and the Internet of Things for green technology
• Highlights the importance of using sustainable materials such as bioplastics, bio-based polymers, and sustainable composites for reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing activities
• Shares ideas, research development, and methods on opportunities and challenges in green technology such as wastewater management, usage of green materials, and waste to energy
• Showcases energy-efficient technologies such as light- emitting diode (LED) lighting, efficient heating, cooling systems, and automated energy management systems in reducing energy consumption
• Covers artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT) in optimizing industrial processes, reducing waste and energy consumption, and improving overall efficiency

It is primarily written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering, environmental engineering, manufacturing engineering, industrial engineering, and production engineering.
